I was thinking of having a new site sign made for the roadside as I am a little worried about the size and colour of the new Club ones.   

Could you help me in advising what information you think the sign should have from a users point of view. http://www.perthshirecl.co.uk/

Having seen the new signage on a Club site we are staying on at the moment I can comment that the lettering is quite small and there is too much white background.

It certainly wasn't obvious when we walked past Rowntree CC site the other day, blending into the hedge.

On closer inspection I see the signs resemble strips of white weather boarding. Very pale but just visible as such.

Because it is new to us we are "reading" these signs rather than recognising them instantly.  This will come with time. Do you remember spelling out words one letter at a time when learning to read? Now you see the concept instantly.

Very soon the bulk of CL users will recognise the signs when they spot them - only members new to visiting CLs will perhaps struggle although I would reckon quite a number of "first timers" will have seen a sign somewhere else in the past.

I still dont condone the content of the new signs though, but will know what it is when (if) I ever see one.

Site name is a must, if you are in an area like South Creake where there are several CL's in less than a mile.

Yes, I quite agree. How about moving the green CL part to the top of the logo, so leaving the CL owner space to put their site name at the bottom. 

I'm sorry but every time I look at the logo it reminds me of buttocks! Am I weird?

The new club site signs look as if they are "designed?"to be a tempery background that "bits"can be added to as needed,smile

I notice that the staff name boards are still in the last pale green colours,so are they  now sub contractors to the new companywink

Where we are all three colours are in use on signs plus the add of white printed  "orders?"smile

I'd originally put this post under a different thread but it may be more applicable here.

Just had an interesting conversation with a club member who, whilst knowing that the club had changed its name did not know that signs at CLs had also been changed. They aren't CT users. "We would have been looking for the usual CL signs" she said. How many other club members would this apply to? Perhaps it illustrates a good reason for running the old and new signs together for a time, ( if new signage was necessary at all).

Just been to our first site of the year and they have the new sign.  It stood out from quite a distance away, just by being bright and in a prominent position.  It was only as we got nearer that we could confirm it was the correct entrance.

The most important thing about signage is.....visible from both directions and it stands out from shrubbery/hedge, giving ample warning to the driver of the turn in.
